From Darshan Gooch:
"Recent curiosities have lead me dabbling further down into the rabbit hole of Marc Andreini’s - Greenough inspired edge board designs. With mixed and exciting results we have been playing with two subtly different outlines in the 6’8” range, entry rocker, edge height, and fin templates. Most intriguing to me is the exchange rate of getting more for less when an appropriate level of engagement is happening within the boundaries of these design characteristics. That being said, there seems often to be a mental readjustment required towards a natural tendency to over surf in a way that can sometimes prove counterproductive."
Definitely my experience with the Andreini. I paddled out the other day with the intention to push the board a little harder and ended up surfing in a forced way that didn't honor the board or look good.
To rip or not to rip, that is the question.
